VA Cemeteries

Cemetery in Port Jervis Area

This documents Cemetery data I've found that contains VanAuken/VanAken headstones.
Some data was obtained from public and historical documents, other data was obtained by me
during visits to cemeteries in the NY/NJ/PA region where VanAukens and VanAkens made their
early homes. Most of this data has been transcribed by scanning historical and newspaper
documents into text.

(Vol 12, pg 34, August 1995), listed is a Henry VA with a
birth date of c1914 and death date of 3 Feb 1915. Rutson VA and Mary
Elizabeth McNeill (1863-1949) had a son, Henry, who died as a young child. His
brothers and sisters are all buried at that cemetery. There is also an Alice
listed with a death date of 1990. Was that a typo? Rutson & Mary Elizabeth
had a daughter, Alice, who also died as a child. My grandfather was Stanley Mann
VanAuken who was born June 28, 1900 (birth date says June 29, 1900.) My
grandfather passed away on February 2, 1989. My grandmother, Mary Edith Curtis
VanAuken is also buried at the same cemetery in the VA plot. A note says that
"These individuals are of the line Marinus, Pieter, Petrus, Henricus,
David".

A correction: Rutson and his children are descended from Marinus, Pieter, Petrus,
Jeremiah, Levi, Jeremiah, and Jeremiah. My grandfather had told me that there
were a number of children who died while still young- Clarence, Percy, Alice,
Eleanor, Henry, Archie, and Rutson Jr. Adelaide was 20 years old when she died
from appendicitis. (b 13, Jun 1905- 1 Aug, 1925). Still alive of Rutson's
children is Marjorie who was born 5 May 1912. Birthdate of Mary Elizabeth
McNeill Van Auken is 1863 not 1807 as reported in the listing.
